From Devin O’Leary, an 11-year-old from Bloomington, Ind., who said he’s still trying to understand why the terrorists attacked.

Q: How has your world view changed since the World Trade Center was hit? Are you different in any way?

Devin: I worry that the next building they will try to hit is the Sears Tower because it’s the tallest building in the U.S. My dad lives in Chicago and I worry that he could be around there when it gets hit and he might get hurt. But my goals haven’t changed. I still want to be a professional soccer player.

Q: Has Sept. 11 changed your view of the United States? If so, how? Do you have more – or less – trust in our leaders since then?

Devin: I think they are protecting us. They are teaching flight attendants karate and they’ve got more high-tech tools in airports. I think they are always trying to find new ways to stop terrorism. But I’m just a little kid, and I want to have fun. I don’t want to think about terrorists.

Rudolph Giuliani….

When in his final months as New York City’s mayor, Giuliani was hailed as the man who calmed New Yorkers and was the spokesman for a defiant city as it rose from the ashes. Since leaving office in January because of term limits, he has been in high demand on the lecture circuit and has founded a consulting firm that provides strategic, financial and investment help to businesses.

Giuliani went to the World Trade Center site shortly after the first plane hit, and narrowly escaped the collapse. During a televised news conference on the evening of Sept. 11, the distraught and exhausted mayor told the world that the casualties would be “more than most of us can bear.” During the city’s one-year anniversary ceremony, he will begin the reading of the victims’ names.

Throughout the year, Giuliani has eulogized friends and colleagues in a stream of memorial services. He meets regularly with a group of victims’ relatives, advising them on issues related to the redevelopment of the trade center site.

It has been estimated Giuliani earns as much as $100,000 per speech on the lecture circuit. He also has a $3 million deal with Talk Miramax to write two books: an autobiography and a book on management issues. He was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year in December.

Calling home…..

Like other Americans, senior Bush administration officials’ thoughts turned to loved ones amid the confusion of Sept. 11.

Andrew Card: The White House chief of staff was first to tell Bush that terrorists had struck the World Trade Center. He immediately went into overdrive, handling logistics to get Bush out of Florida to a secure location. He was too busy to call his wife and now says that was selfish. “You can’t change yesterday, but I kind of wish … that I had called Kathi and said, ‘I’m OK. Are you OK? And I didn’t.”‘

President Bush: He called first lady Laura Bush twice as Air Force One zigzagged from Florida to Washington. By the second call, she was in a secure location and he had landed at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. Bush asked about their daughters.
